SUCTION NOZZLE CLEARANCES
inspect the suction nozzle flaps to verify that they are in good condition
and do not exhibit excessive wear. Adjust as necessary to achieve the
correct flap to ground clearances (Refer to Fig. 4).
NOTE:
These clearances are based on the factory set-up. For some operating
conditions, it might be found that, alternative clearances are preferred.
SETTING UP THE BRUSHES & SKIRTS
Maintaining an effective brush set-up is essential to good sweeping
performance, it also determine. The following instructions are based on the
factory settings, which produce excellent results in virtually all conditions.
It should be remembered, however, that there is no substitute for
experience and if it is found that, for a specific sweeping job, an
alternative set-up is more effective, this may be adopted when necessary.
SIDE BRUSH
1.
The side brush should be angled
so that, when deployed, about
33% (120°) of the outer/leading
edge of its circumference is in
contact with the road surface.
2.
The rubber skirt adjacent to the
side brush collects / positions
material in the path of the
suction nozzle. Condition and
adjustment are very important.
Position the skirt so that it is just
clear of the ground.
